My recent book 'Mrs Mc Martian Goes on Holiday' was inspired by an image in my illustrators folio. It was a rather timid looking alien female character that I felt deserved a back-story, and also a mission that would enable her to 'find her own inner strength'. I believe I was successful in doing that, and I have to say that I am rather proud of my timid little 'Mrs McMartian.

I felt proud and put it away in a drawer for many years. Reading it again some time later encouraged me to write a blog specifically aimed at entertaining people, and it was the response from this blog that gave me the confidence to 'try it for real'.
